Abstract

The optical fiber (100) includes a core (110); a cladding (120) surrounding the core (110); a primary metal coating (130) surrounding the cladding (120) and including a noble metal having a melting point of at least 500 degrees Celsius; and a secondary metal coating (140) surrounding the primary coating (130) and having a melting point higher than the melting point of the primary metal coating (130), a thickness of the primary metal coating being greater than a thickness of the secondary metal coating
